Guild Wars 2

I am looking for a plausable warrior build that has AoE but wihtout axe offhand. I’ve tried yesterday a build with sword main, mace off hand for its 5th used as the AoE. I have to say the dmg is descent, getting ppl with it is not that easy as i thought though. Has anyone been trying this weapon combination? I am thinking of using shackles to catch ppl so i can use the knockdown on them. Any thoughts

Pretty bad in PvP. The knockdown is so incredibly slow, the Vuln debuff actually reduces your DPS if you’re in a 1v1 situation (low damage, plus it’s slow). MH Sword damage is pretty low and Burst skill sucks without Condition damage (again, in 1v1, Immobilize is always good in group situations) and if you do stack Condition damage, you just suck by default, because Warrior condi builds are terrible.

If you want to AoE get a Greatsword and/or Longbow.

@ Edelweiss: disagree w/ everything you said about swords. MH Sword damage is 1k 1k 2k crits, easy and quickly. 1 & 2 autoattacks stack bleeds. I’ve been using MH sword for a few weeks and I haven’t lost a single 1v1 fight in wvw. I’ve won multiple 2v1, 3v1 and 4v1 as well; took about 10 min but a win is a win.

Mobility is pretty important in PvP/wvw, so being a GS warrior sucks when your highest dmg skill renders you unable to move.
